Altered DVD Tin


I'd never embossed a tin before, but I always loved the end result, so I figured I'd give it a shot... Whoaaaaa, I'm halfway there. LOL, sorry, the 80's girl in me kicked into overdrive. I promise to refrain from outbursts of Bon Jovi for the remainder of this post... :P

I made this for a friend of mine, who is always such a great friend to me. I was thinking about creating cards to fill the inside of the tin, but in the end decided to stamp out a bunch of images on WCP for her.

I started by stamping the pumpkin image randomly on the cover of the DVD tin, then sprinkling silver embossing powder and heating with my heat gun. I set the tin aside to cool, and started working on the belly band.

I cut a piece of Soft Sky Textured CS (3 x 12") to fit around the outside of the tin, as well as a piece of Fall Flowers DS (2 3/4 x 12") paper. I used my corner rounder to scallop the edge of the patterned paper, then attached it to the textured CS.

Next, I cut a strip of Really Rust CS (2 x 4") and ran it through my crimper. I also cut out another piece of Fall Flowers DS (1 3/4 x 3 3/4") paper, and a 1 1/2 x 3 1/2" piece of Whisper White. My sentiment was stamped in Chocolate Chip, and the corners were punched before attaching them together and adding the Soft Sky Double Stitched Ribbon.

Details:
Stamps - Give Thanks
Ink - Chocolate Chip, Versamark
Paper - Soft Sky Textured CS, Fall Flowers, Really Rust, Whisper White
